About me

I am a retired carpenter who, having a fascination with both the source of the flood tales i.e. the Biblical Flood and Atlantis, and the source of the British Imperial system of measures, began research into the subjects way back in the early 1980s. Given the time involved for research it is clear that these works are not the quickly garnered assembly of frequently dissociated bits and pieces that occasionally have been termed history in recent decades. These are serious works that at long last reveal just what these mythical tales have in common and the commonality is far from that which most would expect. The final results of the research are found in the two works Deluge and Measurements of the Gods under the generic title of Megalith, Masonry, Myth and Measure.
These works have been examined by a number of editors of major British publishing houses but unfortunately the timing was wrong and while a number of these people actually praised the works, it seems that this element of history, in fact history in general, is currently not very fashionable with publishers. As my literary agent stated, it’s a pity but we can’t buck the market. So here we are on the web.

While Baker denotes a trade, Sivertsen simply means son of Sivert...similar to the 'ap' in Welsh or Mac in Scottish. Perhaps not a hereditary title suited for the House of Lords but nonetheless, a baker is a respectable craft, even if it is an honorary title! I had to serve an apprenticeship but carpenter is not part of my name! (more)

As far as I'm aware, the only claim to fame for Alan Baker as a name is that it was the name of a character played by Frank Sinatra in a film once - but I can't remember what it was called. Hang on - I'm just going to Google it... A ha! It was called "Come Blow Your Horn", made in 1963 (one year before me!) (more)

There is an exception to that rule though...we opted out of the population expansion exercise! There are many Sivertsens in Swansea...unrelated as far as I know in fact one was mayor a few years ago. Apparently there was a great influx of Norwegian seamen and their families in that region in the 19th century...it seems an odd one strayed a bit to the east and found Newport...my home town where my father also grew up...

Anyway, enough waffling...I have the Author of the Month slot on Graham Hancock's site for the month of May and naturally am getting a little anxious about the e book element. How is your article getting on and how soon would the simplest option for PDF download to PC be available...??? I feel that I ought to be able to sell a couple if the cheap option was on board as most read some of the material online anyway. The problem here is that this is only for May after which all reverts to as it is today...I shall have to put something on my book blurbs to covert this when it starts as well... Cheers H (more)
